Contest Brainstorm

[thehotpepper.com]

TheHotPepper.com would like to run some fun contests. Prizes can be different hot sauces donated by members that make sauce.

In this thread, discuss what type of contests you would like to see, how you would like them judged, and whatever you can think of. This is the brainstorm stage, there is nothing set up as of yet.

Anyone wanting to judge or provide prizes PM me.

Thanks!

Y'know, I would love to present some twisted ideas, but I feel as if I would be scolded.

A digital scavenger hut. instead of items you send pictures. the catagories should range from specifics like "red savina" to general like "hot food".

been toying with this idea for awhile for another purpose.

[thehotpepper.com]

Too easy with Google.

caption contest.....someone finds a picture of something and it is put on the begining of a thread and then for a cpl of weeks anyone can post a funny caption for the photo.....winner is determined by the administrator.

[imaguitargod]

Ohhh, ya buba! A cation contest sounds awsome! I've been practicing my baby throwing arm, maybe we can do something along those lines...

[bubbaschili]

Ok, I've automatically lost this contest.......

[thehotpepper.com]

Hmmm, not sure about that. I was thinking more like food related contests.
Example:

All members post hot wings recipes. The 3 best sounding ones (possibly determined by a forum poll) move to the semi-finals. Five judges prepare all three recipes and judge with a scorecard. Scorecards are sent to the admin. The winner is determined.

Something like that.

ehhhhh.....I'm iffy on that... I like the photo comment contest the best so far.

I'm in for judging, the company will offer up some prizes.

What about a game of "Name That Pepper"?

[Cap'n Bones]

The pic of the cat is tooo funny! It's also the first time that I've ever seen a cat get a bath. I've always thought that they licked themselves clean.
Anyway, some sort of contest would be fun. Of course I'm currently brain dead, so I'll have to drink a few brewskies and think about this. Cheers!

[bubbaschili]

my caption for the cat would be

"SHOOT ME PLEASE.......FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JUST PLEASE SHOOT ME!!"

[imaguitargod]

Not just a cat, but a water logged cat.... :hell:

Okay, so forget the food contest, seems you guys want something different.

:clap:

[bubbaschili]

im not in any way shape or form a mod or anything i just love talking to you guys and gals...whatever you decide to do is fine with me...i was thinking that we talk food all over the board and i was looking forward if we did the picture idea of some food related photos...just trying to have some fun. i need another beer.
so far guitar dude with the rat comment is the funniest....i want to come up with something with the glowing eyes like....fluffy got into the defcon 1 or the fusion fire....and we had to soak him in water.

[thehotpepper.com]

Okay, so imaguitargod doesn't want a food competition, Tina does... any other input?

[Tina Brooks]

I like the name that pepper idea!

I'm also thinking maybe a name that sauce and win it... We post the ingredients. first person to name the sauce wins a jar.

I'm glad someone likes my idea :party:

As for the name that hot sauce, that would be hard to do, fun, but hard...

[DEFCON Creator]

How about name that maker. Have the producer come up with a disguise, with subtle hints. With the creativity of the chili-heads, I'd imagine it would be funny as Hell.

[imaguitargod]

New to thehotpepper.com...The Puppy Kicking Contest! They're cute, they're fuzzy, they're shapped like a football with legs!

Coming soon, Duct Tape the Baby!

Now you're just being silly.

Name the maker could be good. Except that you'd need more clues than just a photo for a lot of makers... Most of them don't have their pics on their sites, etc.

T

[Tina Brooks]

We'd also need releases from people to post their photographs... So we couldn't simply do a name that maker using Cajohn's photo, without his permission.

T

[DEFCON Creator]

Ugh, you're killin' me. If a maker supplied a website a pic, hasn't he/she already given permission? As for guessing who it is, subtle hints within the pic would help.

[imaguitargod]

Ugh, you're killin' me. If a maker supplied a website a pic, hasn't he/she already given permission?
Nope, copyright laws instantly apply to the picture once it has been "published". So therefore you must ask permission to use the copyright protected picture.

[Tina Brooks]

Unfortunately, John, Jonathan is right.

T

[thehotpepper.com]

Not a big deal. Just ask for a picture with permission to use.

[bubbaschili]

(ssssssssssssssnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooowww wwwwwwwwkkk)
that is the sound of all the fun being sucked out the window

[Tina Brooks]

exactly.

[imaguitargod]

Unfortunately, John, Jonathan is right.
And that's the sound of Hell freezing over... hehehe

[Tina Brooks]

Hell freezes over every year. Where've you been???

[imaguitargod]

Los Angeles... ;)

[Tina Brooks]

Los Angeles... ;)

Well, that explains eeeeeeeevrything. :rolleyes:

[Cap'n Bones]

Totally agree. Most anybody who is in the hot sauce biz is more than willing to give permission for their pics to be used for stuff like this.

[DEFCON Creator]

"Right" is a state of mind, and perception is reality, therefore nothing exists.

[DEFCON Creator]

Not a big deal. Just ask for a picture with permission to use.

Exactly. Cripes, ever since the whiny 90's, the creation of the "sue everyone"/Politically Correct ideology, the fun has been sucked out of a lot of things. I'll post a pic, and don't give a crap about the copyrights.

You won't be saying that when some professional photo seller sends you an invoice for $3200 for having used their copyrighted photograph.

[DEFCON Creator]

You mean the picture I took of myself? Ugh.:rolleyes:

[Tina Brooks]

If you took the picture, YOU own the rights to do whatever you want with it.

[bubbaschili]

(ssssssssssssssnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooowww wwwwwwwwkkk)

theres that sound again

[DEFCON Creator]

If you took the picture, YOU own the rights to do whatever you want with it.

That's my entire point. "Name the maker" would be producers who submit their own pics.

This one's for you gambling joe!

[chuk hell]

I'm actually going to try to come up with some contest ideas.. I like HP's idea of food-related contests....but...that may be hard to do.

Hmmm.....I'll get back to ya.

[POTAWIE]

Next Spring, why not have a pepper growing contest like Mark's at www.thechileman.org
I think I'm the only North American in the contest this year. Who can grow the largest Whippet's tail pepper or Big Jim or something entirely different. How about who can grow the ugliest pepper, I know some fairs have ugly veggy contests.

[sixstring75]

I like Potawie's idea. But in case no one has been paying attention......he already has a head start. Check out the "Mystery Hab?" thread.
How about growing the longest Peter Pepper?!?!?

Would it interest anyone to create their own contests? I could create a contest forum, and people could give away sauces. I would think this would be good for sauce makers to get their product to some new customers. Yes, no?

[Cap'n Bones]

I think a food trivia question type contest would be fun.
Someone (anyone) would ask a food related trivia question, (the admin would need to be notified of the answer before the question could be posted) and the first to answer it correctly, duh, wins. But here's the twist, not only does the winner get a prize from the person asking the question, but the winner would be required to send the question asker some type of prize as well. I think that this would offer a fair playing field. Only food related prizes, and keep it to lets say under $10.00US, not including shipping.
I'm almost asleep, so I hope this makes sense, and it's just an idea.

[imaguitargod]

Well, I'm almost drunk and it made sense. I second this motion!

[thehotpepper.com]

Okay, I made a sub-forum THP Web Contests in Related. Let's see how it goes.
